    Abstract— At the microscopic level, the brain is fundamentally a matter of physics and chemistry, as all the components of the universe are. At the macroscopic scale, behavior, psychology and affects are the main dimensions of its life. To convert atoms and molecules into intelligence, some kind of information has to be fixed in the grey matter of the cerebral cortex. The way this "mental information" is materialized and processed is still an enigma, probably the most puzzling problem addressed to science nowadays. At this mesoscopic level of the brain functioning, the concepts to consider are likely the same as those considered in communication and information theory, mainly information, noise, coding and modulation. This paper proposes some ideas that could help understand some features of the brain in an information-processing perspective.

    Abstract—The recent past years have seen a noticeable increase of interest for electroencephalography (EEG) to analyze functional connectivity through brain sources reconstructed from scalp signals. Although considerable advances have been done both on the recording and analysis of EEG signals, a number of methodological questions are still open regarding the optimal way to process the data in order to identify brain networks. In this paper, we analyze the impact of three factors that intervene in this processing: i) the number of scalp electrodes, ii) the combination between the algorithm used to solve the EEG inverse problem and the algorithm used to measure the functional connectivity and iii) the frequency bands retained to estimate the functional connectivity among neocortical sources. Using High-Resolution (hr) EEG recordings in healthy volunteers, we evaluated these factors on evoked responses during picture recognition and naming task. The main reason for selection this task is that a solid literature background is available about involved brain networks (ground truth). From this a priori information, we propose a performance criterion based on the number of connections identified in the regions of interest (ROI) that belong to potentially activated networks. Our results show that the three studied factors have a dramatic impact on the final result (the identified network in the source space) as strong discrepancies were evidenced depending on the methods used. They also suggest that the combination of weighted Minimum Norm Estimator (wMNE) and the Phase Synchronization (PS) methods applied on High-Resolution EEG in beta/gamma bands provides the best performance in term of topological distance between the identified network and the expected network in the above-mentioned cognitive task.

    Abstract—An extension to a recently introduced architecture of clique-based neural networks is presented. This extension makes it possible to store sequences with high efficiency. To obtain this property, network connections are provided with orientation and with flexible redundancy carried by both spatial and temporal redundancy, a mechanism of anticipation being introduced in the model. In addition to the sequence storage with high efficiency, this new scheme also offers biological plausibility. In order to achieve accurate sequence retrieval, a double layered structure combining hetero-association and auto-association is also proposed.

    Abstract—An extension to a recently introduced binary neural network is proposed to allow the storage of sparse messages, in large numbers and with high memory efficiency. This new network is justified both in biological and informational terms. The storage and retrieval rules are detailed and illustrated by various simulation results.

[LIVRE] Claude Berrou and Vincent Gripon. "Petite mathématique du cerveau: Une théorie de l'information mentale." Odile Jacob, 2012.

    Abstract About the neuron, the fundamental component of the brain, we know almost everything. Of the mental information it processes, we know almost nothing. In what "material" form and according to which internal organization does our brain store familiar faces, favorite poems and phone numbers? In what way does it recall them on demand? These questions which have to do with mental information come under information theory, originally formulated by specialists in telecommunications and coding rather than under biology and neuroanatomy.                                                                                                                          
    This very accessible book brings a first concrete, mathematically coherent and biologically plausible answer on the way the neural network sets and recalls its knowledge components. In an original theory get involved neurons and graphs, error correcting codes and cortical columns, neural "cliques" and other "tournaments", in search of the algorithms of our brain. The prospects of development offered by this theory and the entirely digital model of cerebral memory it leads to are numerous and promising in neurosciences as well as in the field of artificial intelligence.
